Discovering Desire (Shattered Embrace #3)Discovering Desire by Alyndra Quinn

While this is book 3 in the Shattered Embrace Series, this is the first book of the series that I have read myself. I am definitely going to have to go back and read the first two to get more of the beginning of this story but I did not feel as if I missed a whole lot. This book can totally be read as a stand-alone. The chemistry between Justine, Jordan, and Derek is palpable and it is crazy hot to read their scenes together. This story will have you turning pages and dreading having to put it down even for a minute. It will keep you on your toes throughout the whole read.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was so much fun to read. It had a little bit of everything I wanted in a good story. This book has mystery, action, danger, mafia, steamy moments, love, loyalty, family, great characters and more. I enjoy this author’s style of writing. I got sucked into the story from the beginning and I was kept entertained throughout. I had a hard time putting this down while I was reading because I needed to know what was going to happen next. The chemistry between Derek and Justine could be felt jumping off the pages but both of them like to keep people at arms length. Justine’s past has a lot to do with how she interacts now. Derek is always trying to protect the people he cares about. If you want to know what happens between these two then this is a must read. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series. I highly recommend this book.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

An enjoyable and engaging contemporary romance set within the ‘Club Shattered Embrace’ world. The storyline revolves around a steamy love triangle involving Justine, Jordan and Derek. Derek Ingram is an ex Navy SEAL, who having joined Ingram Enterprises is now a billionaire corporate mogul. Whilst playing at the BDSM club he finds himself attracted to two very different but independent women. Justine is using the club to help her with her doctoral in authenticity, as Club Shattered Embrace is perfect for people-watching. She never expected to get involved with the emotionally distant playboy Derek. He teaches a class on power dynamics but the lines between academic and personal get blurred.

Meanwhile event planner Jordan loves going to the club to experience adventure, passion and pleasure, with multiple partners. One of those is Derek but she starts to want more than a casual relationship with him. Derek thought he had left danger behind him, but then the head of a powerful family, Lucian targets his brother Zachary and his sub. Derek needs to take Lucian down whilst keeping those he loves safe, including Justine and Jordan. As usual the BDSM Club Shattered Embrace is brought to life through the descriptive narrative. The characters are likeable and relatable. The romance between those in the love triangle came across in the story. Whilst their chemistry sizzled off the page and led to some steamy scenes. This is an entertaining series.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

As the family continues to deal with the baddie Lucian’s threats and evil behavior, Derek decides that he is ready to take over the family biz and oust Lucian. This is a shock to everyone, especially Zach, who begrudgingly accepts Derek’s pan since it will keep him and his mischief safe.

During all this, Derek has been doing his brother a favor by mentoring a new sub who has been around awhile, observing but has decided to take the sub training course to get a closer look at what the lifestyle entails. Justine, is a grad student that has been observing at Shattered Embrace as research for her Doctoral thesis. Justine seems drawn towards Derek, despite her fear of his dominance.

After Derek accidentally heard Justine moan his name during one self-love session, Derek has a growing curiosity about this little grad student. One night during sub class, he demonstrates the fun of wax play. Justine asks for more. Derek and a long-time play partner, Jordan, provide a deeper demonstration with Justine’s participation. This interaction leads to all kinds of questions, including if Jordan is more than who she has been.

One night Justine races after Derek to talk to him, only to be accidentally shot in the parking lot. Derek scoops up Justine and heads for the hills and safer ground. Derek has everyone else on lock down. As Derek tries to sort out his feelings for Justine, she proves to be quite the help in his current situation with Lucian. In fact, Justine offers herself as bait to help capture Lucian. It works, mostly. Lucian is no longer an issue.

Derek and Justine figure out their connection. Jordan decides to give herself a chance in a new role. A couple of new characters are introduced to our core group. How will they play into the story? Only the next book will tell. Now that Lucian isn’t a threat, who will be? So many questions to be answered in the next in the series.

There is something for everyone in this series. A little steam, a little mystery, family loyalty, found family bonds, and friendship. Get in now! Worth the read.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The third book in the Shattered Embrace Series, Discovering Desires, features the points of view of Derek, Jordan, and Justine.

Derek is head of Nightshade Security and has taken on the task of removing Lucian Clareno from leadership of the Clareno Crime Syndicate. He meets with four of the syndicate’s lieutenants to discuss Lucian’s poor judgment. Since Derek’s brother, Zach, is the oldest, the lieutenants suggest that Zach take over the syndicate. Derek advises them that Zach doesn’t want to be the leader since he has become the head of the Ingram conglomerate. Because Lucian’s actions are putting his family and the syndicate at risk, he proposes a plan to eliminate Lucian. The men agree to support him during the operation.

Justine is writing a dissertation on sexual authenticity for her master’s degree. Zach has allowed her unlimited access to the BDSM club, Shattered Embrace. He agrees to her demystifying lifestyle, stipulating that he read her dissertation prior to submission. She also cannot reveal any member identities in her work. Originally, before Zach became attached to his submissive girlfriend, Ashton, he had been a dominant mentor for Justine. However, now Derek is her mentor. While she is fascinated with Derek, she doesn’t think she is submissive.

Jordan, a switch, enjoys her time with Derek. She has never been monogamous, though she has begun to entertain the idea of becoming Derek’s devoted submissive. However, she also sees the possibility of including Justine.

Derek, Justine, and Jordan have no idea how far their boundaries will be tested as the insane Lucian Clareno begins targeting everyone close to Derek.

This is an intense book that builds tension at the perfect pace. Despite being the third book in a series, it is easily capable of being a standalone. An element of danger adds to the building suspense from the first page to the last. Zach and Derek are opposites outside the club. Zach doesn’t engage in the criminal world; Derek has the intestinal fortitude to do battle without flinching. Intertwining Justine and Jordan inside and outside of Shattered Embrace takes readers on a roller coaster ride, seen through the eyes of three exceptionally developed characters. The plot twists are captivating. The balance between steamy scenes and action is beyond remarkable. A perfect 5-star story sure to entice any romance reader without fail.

This was a great story. It’s steamy, for sure. I enjoyed the story pretense. It was plausible with a forbidden apple touch to it. There was also a bit of romantic suspense in it that gave it an air that had me totally engaged. I have loved this series and hope to read more. Terrific characters and wonderful writing in these books make for a fantastic adventure.

Discovering Desire (Shattered Embrace Series) by Alyndra Quinn – Review by Jessica Stone

I was super excited to dive into this book, after reading the first two in the series, note that I don’t believe that you have to read the first two books to necessarily read this installment but I do believe you would benefit greatly from read the previous two books about Zachary and Ashton.

This book focuses on Derek and I’m sooooo in love with him, he’s got a pretty rough pass that he still struggles with and after everything that happened to his brother Zachary and Ashton in the previous book he’s having to bring back a part of himself he would like to keep hidden away forever.

I like Jordan, a lot, if I could relate to one character in this story it would be her, she’s 100% a badddiiiiiee with a capital b! I think it was super interesting for this story that already has a lot going on to throw in two love interests without it being to many subplots, it was easy to follow and I was pretty captivated with this story from the get go. Now I feel like I should mention that I ADORE Justine, on the flip side from Jordan she has this sweet and quite nature, an she feels so much but struggles deeply with being who she is deep down and going after what she wants. She blossoms in this book, which really brings the entire purpose of the club together, it’s really full circle, this book, Derek’s growth, Jordan’s growth and Justine’s as well.

I’m SO excited to read the next book in this series and see all the relationships that develop through shattered embrace.

This book is a hot and steamy romance story that intertwines some fantastic characters and a great story. I loved the dynamic between the characters. They all had such defined parts to play and each added to the story in different ways.
The overall story was really interesting to read as well. It combined a protective alpha male, out to make sure those he loves are safe, with a need to teach and explore. Derek, for me, was definitely he focal point of the book and everything seemed to gravitate around him. I really enjoyed this book and it is a fantastic addition to the series.

Discovering Desire is the third book in the Shattered Embrace series. I thought it was a well-written, steamy, romance novel that will keep you entranced from page one. I do recommend reading book one and two before reading this one as it all becomes a more cohesive, and it’s more easily understood when it comes to the characters and the events in this book. Discovering Desire has a little bit of many different tropes such as an Alpha Hero, protective male, drama, Navy Seal, Billionaire, sex club, morally grey characters, mafia connections, and an intro into BDSM. You won’t regret reading this series.

Wow, this is not your frilly romance novel. This book was filled with the teaching of BDSM, mafia undercurrent, friendship, and so much tension. I absolutely loved this book and it took me on a ride from beginning to end. This is the first book I have read from this author and was totally enraptured. I will be finding and reading more books by her,

Although the book is based on the BDSM Nightshade club, I really appreciated that the author was responsible with her depiction of the learning process for new and seasoned individuals within the lifestyle. Everyday is a learning experience.
So much happens in this story and lives are at risk. Does everyone make it out safe? Will Lucian win or lose? Brother against step-brother to the very end.

Another amazing novel in the Shattered Embrace series by Alyndra Quinn…. And once again this novel is seriously HOT! Totally awesome sex scenes and more insight into the world of domination and submission. It is the love story of Derek and Justine but also a continuation of the storyline and subplots of the hidden dangers and the Mafia connection from books 1&2.

Before reading this novel you have to start at book one to have a complete understanding of the events of the novel.

It is hard to write a review without spoilers so I am just going to tell you that you need to read it yourself!

Discovering Desire is the third book in the Shattered Embrace series by Alyndra Quinn. It is a steamy, contemporary romance, with red hot chemistry, BDSM club, light BDSM scenes, Dom/sub dynamics, Alpha type male/s, dramatic developments, an unhinged adversary, danger, angst, spicey encounters, emotion, and more.
This instalment gives us Derek’s story, ex-Navy SEAL – businessman – and DOM, whom we have met in the previous two books as he is Zachary’s brother and also Ashton’s best friend. But here, we get so much more of him- and let’s just say the temperature skyrockets and sparks fly.
I do wish I had read ‘Whispers in Wonderland’ (a Club Wonderland/Shattered Embrace novella) which is where Derek’s story started, as I think knowing what happened there would have made this book an even better reading experience. So, I will be going back to read it asap.
Happy Reading

Thank You, Alyndra Quinn!

Between Managing Mischief book 2 & Discovering Desire book 3 in the Shattered Embrace Series, I made a little side trip & read Whispers in Wonderland where Derek’s story started. You don’t have to, but I suggest you do read it first & the first two books because they work well together, and you are missing out.
Hidden Mischief & Managing Mischief are the first two book where they take us into the life of the sinful Club Shattered Embrace where your deepest & darkest desires come to life. It takes us into the world that is captivating & complex.
Club Shattered Embrace is the place to be when letting go of your inner inhibitions. A place to let go. A place where dominance & the power that one’s body secretly yearns. This is a sexy, sizzling, erotic, sensual tale that will have you sitting up & taking notice.
In Discovering Desire things heat up. You are in his world where he can take you to a place only, he can take you. A place of wonton behaviour & self-discovery. A pleasure you have never known before. But just as the club will pull you in so does the story where our MC will do whatever it takes to save those, he loves from a very disturbed man, even if he is his brother.
I need more.
Enjoy!

In the shadows of desire, three hearts are tested. Will one end up broken?

~~~Justine~~~
As a doctoral student studying authenticity, Club Shattered Embrace is a gold mine for my dissertation research and people-watching. But I never expected to find myself on my knees before Derek Ingram, the enigmatic and emotionally distant playboy, in a class about power dynamics. With each lesson, he pushes me to explore my desires and boundaries. But I’m beginning to question whether our connection is purely academic or something more.

~~~Jordan~~~
I’m an event planner with a love for uninhibited adventure and passion. Club Shattered Embrace is my playground, where I indulge in my favorite pastime: pleasure with multiple partners. But lately, I’ve found myself wanting more from Derek. What will it take to convince him it’s time for our causal relationship to move to the next level?

~~~Derek~~~
I thought I’d left danger behind when I returned home from my service as a Navy SEAL and joined Ingram Enterprises. But I was wrong. I’m still haunted by my past and Lucian, a dangerous head of a powerful family. When my brother, Zachary, and his sub become targets, I’ve no choice but to take Lucian down to keep everyone I love safe─including the two women whom my heart can’t seem to decide on. Jordan’s allure always has me burning for more, but I can’t resist the urge to protect and guide sweet Justine into finding who her soul longs to be.

Discovering Desire, the third book in the Shattered Embrace series, is a scorching-hot exploration of acceptance, trust, vulnerability, and the complexities of human connection. Don’t miss the adventures awaiting an ex-military protector turned corporate mogul, who finds himself unsure of which is more dangerous: infiltrating an enemy organization or being in a love triangle with two wildly different strong women.

With the brief plot given, that definitely convinced me to give this read a try. The words like steamy, kinky, romance and drama caught my attention! Another aspect of a great novel is also their character development, which Ashton and Zachary were vividly portrayed. Ashton is shy and withdrawn but after years alone is making a bold move in her exploration experiences. Zachary, a strong headed CEO, looking for a strong partner to help in more than one endeavor. As Ashton gets familiar with her new surroundings, Zachary eases her way through it. Very exciting start and I cannot wait to read the next book in the series.

Zachary, a rich entrepreneur who has a very diverse portfolio, Ashton who is strong in business but quiet in her love life create an unconventional romance. The story was really great and the character development was strong. The writing in this book truly had you feel their instant attraction but especially the care that Zachary has for Ashton as she delves into the world of BDSM. The ending definitely left you wanting for the next book as Ashton takes on her new role. Great read that was hard to put down.

Alyndra Quinn has done it again with this second book in the Shattered Embrace series! This book was even steamier than the first book in this series, it is for a mature audience for sure! I love that we get to continue the storyline between Zachary and Ashton and watch their romance continue to blossom in ways that are unimaginable and unexpected for both of them. The storyline gets very exciting as new characters are introduced and a competition arises that may just steal Ashton away from Zachary’s embrace. This book had me drawn in right from the first page, I could not put it down, I was intrigued by the development of the character’s lives.

In the first book, Hidden Mischief, we were introduced to Zachary and Ashton with all their heat. Managing Mischief got hotter on so many levels. I felt that their characters were much more developed and realistic. Their relationship matured on many levels also. Zachary is still intense and demanding while Ashton is still growing into her new role.
This series is not for everyone, but if the topics involved are you thing, start reading!

This is the second book in the Shattered Embrace series, and it was extraordinary! Zach and Ashton have the best chemistry and getting to read more about their relationship evolving was incredible. There is plenty of Dom/sub spice in this book and while they absolutely add another layer to the story, the author doesn’t rely on just the steam to pull through. The storyline, characters, and world-building are absolutely astounding! I love the dual points of view as it makes me feel like I’m experiencing the story from both perspectives. I highly recommend picking this book up if you love spice and mystery with your romance. I can’t wait to see what the next book in this series has in store for us!

Having been introduced to the main characters in the first book in this series I was looking forward to continuing with their story, and once again I was kept happily turning the pages. In ‘Hidden Mischief’ we are introduced to the BDSM club owned by Zachary ‘Club Shattered Embrace,’ and follow Zachary and Ashton as they began their romance and develop their Dom/sub dynamic. This storyline continues with their romance and follows them as their relationship develops. This is a hot and steamy romance between a couple who’s chemistry sizzles off the page and results in some rather steamy scenes. As Zachary and Ashton explore the BDSM lifestyle their connection grows and they enjoy doing scenes together both privately and at the club. However, work wise when an opportunity arises for Ashton to lead a dream team of the world’s best researchers, it means moving to Atlanta. A dangerous rival of Zachary’s makes Ashton a pawn in a deadly game forcing him to reveal past sins in order to keep her safe. I was hooked from start to finish and the exciting plot kept me guessing as to the outcome of the story, although I was hoping this opposites attract couple would get their HEA. No spoilers, I recommend reading both this book and the previous one!

This is the second book in the Shattered Embrace series. I do highly recommend reading these books in order so that you can fully appreciate the characters and their journey together. The author does an incredible job of opening the world of BDSM and Dom/Sub relationships to the reader giving them an insight into things they may not be aware of before. What I really loved about this story is that not only is Ashton learning to become more submissive and trusting of Zachery but at the same time Zachery is learning that he needs more than he previously has before and that Ashton is the only woman to make him feel this way.

Zachery has claimed Ashton as his and is opening her eyes to the world of Dom/sub relationships. Ashton can’t deny the attraction between them and the feeling of wanting to do anything to please Zachery makes fully submitting to him and easier process. Their relationship starts to grow and as a reader I couldn’t help but feel excited with a warm fuzzy feeling for their happy ever after. However the author wasn’t going to let us have it easy.
A miscommunication causes damaged between Zachery and Ashton. When something happens with their businesses it has Zachery questioning everything between him and Ashton. Was it all fake? Was Ashton just using him?
Heartbroken that Zachery could even think this way Ashton is desperate to get Zachery to listen to her and understand that everything they felt was real but will this stubborn Dom who is now hurt be able to listen to her or will his subborness and his need to protect himself make him close off from the only woman who made him feel more than he ever has before.

This is a steamy read but at the same time it is beautiful to see the development and growth of both characters as they embrace their life. The author has definitely put me on a rollercoaster and at times I wasnt sure they would get their happy ever after or not.

Managing Mischief is the second book in the Shattered Embrace Series and is a continuation of the couple Zachary and Ashton in book one. The author says it can be read as a standalone, and there is enough details, clues, and context added that would allow you to read it as a standalone, but I always love to read in order as it makes the whole relationship between the two deeper and helps me understand what’s what. Book two focuses on the relationship dynamics, more ‘real life’ over ‘club life’, between the two rather than the club dynamics of the two as book one did, but it was as equally entertaining as book 1. The chemistry between the two was still high, and there was some spice. I loved the point of view being from them both. Overall this was a great follow up and I am excited to see where book three takes us.

Managing Mischief : A Billionaire, Bossy Male, Opposites Attract Romance (Shattered Embrace Series Book 2

This is a more serious book than the first but just as enjoyable. I absolutely adore Ashton, and admire her for stepping so far out of her comfort zone at the beginning and while submissive she didn’t lose her voice.

The twist in Atlanta caught me off guard, but I loved it. I hope it comes full circle before this series is done.

Zachary is a Dom in every aspect of his life. He takes control and gets most people to do what he’s needing with little argument.

I’m curious about the location of the Austin club since it’s home for me.

I hate the fact that I have to wait for the next book, but I’m expecting to enjoy Derek’s story as much as Zachary and Ashton’s

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

As we continue into Zachary and Ashton’s relationship, they are trying to find the trust that they have developed in the club and establish it in the outside world. That seems a lot easier said than done, especially when Ashton receives a job offer that will have her moving away. Secrets come out, the past rears its head, and it seems like everything is not how it seems. Will these two be able to work through it and maintain a real relationship? Or, do they really only work when they are at the club?

Managing Mischief continues the dom/sub relationship between Zachary and Ashton. And, don’t get me wrong, there are some hot and spicy scenes. However, the focus shifts to how their relationship will work beyond the walls of the club…and I’m here for it. There was drama and ups and downs, just like any relationship. When they finally hit their breaking point…it was needed! I enjoyed these characters, and look forward to where the third book will lead me. While this is the second book in the Shattered Embrace series, and it follows the same couple from the first book, I don’t think you have to read the first book to understand what is going on….but it would give you some context and backstory of both characters.

Zachary and Ashton are back in this 2nd book of the Shattered Embrace Series and I am loving it. It brings you further into their exploration of their developing relationship and the world of D/s. I have truly come to love these characters so I really enjoyed reading more about them. During this book we also learn more about Zachery. Now, yes you could just start here with this book and I think you’d still follow the storyline ok BUT I highly recommend starting the series at the beginning with Book 1 to fully enjoy all that happens and these wonderful characters. You will not regret even for a second reading as much as you can by this very talented author.

This was a steamy 5 star read. This is Zach and Ashton’s story. I highly suggest reading book 1 first. I like the duo POV so that we can see what they both are thinking. They continue to explore their relationship and try some things. The author does such a great job with her writing you feel like you are right there with the characters. Will Ashton let herself fully go or will she hold back on some things? Overall I really enjoyed this read. There are several steamy scenes that could melt your kindle. If you are looking for a hot and steamy read, 1-click and get started today. I look forward to reading more from this author.
